Resistance 3, unable to delete game data, and installation of trophies freezing

Bought Resistance 3, popped it into the PS3 and the first thing that came up was an update. So I wait the 2 hours to download the 696 MB update, then let it install. The entire PS3 freezes at installing trophies. I cannot even get to XMB. I restart the PS3 manually and try to install again, same issue. So I try deleting the game data from XMB and it freezes the PS3. I manually restart again, and the game data now says "corrupted." I am unable to delete the corrupted data. What do I do now?

Cant restore my Wii: BootMii Wont Work

I am trying to restore or un-modify my Wii. When I try to start BootMii from the Home Brew Channel, I get only a black screen. Can somebody please help me?

USB Loader GX keeps on crashing to the Homebrew Channel

I have a Wii on version 4.3U. One of my games used to work, but now all of them just crash to the Homebrew Channel. I already know there is another post about this, but I didn't perform a system update after I installed the cIOSes since my Wii was already on 4.3U.

Where can I find the manual for the Turbografx - Virtual Console version of SimEarth?

I downloaded SimEarth for academic purposes. The problem is that I'm not used to strategic games and I don't get this game (I don't know how to play it and what to do and so on). Is there a detailed manual on the Internet which explains all the options and symbols and which describes to me what I have to do exactly? The Manual in the Wii explains it little bit and also the symbols, but it's very hard to switch between game and manual all the time. Or is there a tutorial?
